EFF: Obama DOJ's Warrantless Wiretapping Arguments Are Worse Than Bush's
By Mike Masnick, Tech Dirt
On the issue of warrantless wiretapping, we've never been given a clear explanation by anyone why it makes sense to allow the government to totally skip over the warrant process...
The EFF has an analysis of the new Justice Department in trying to get one of the warrantless wiretapping cases dismissed, noting that the new administration appears to be taking an even more extreme position than the previous administration (which was already quite extreme).
